Delicate departure of the legendary Sonny Lubick

Backers of CSU football coach Sonny Lubick are angry that their coach was asked to resign and that endgame negotiations have taken days. Now CSU has confirmed they’ve offered a new job to Lubick: “senior associate athletic director.” What do you think about the way CSU has handled the long goodbye? What about Lubick’s legacy at CSU? (Read the story.)

This is so lame. I’m not a CSU fan, but I recognize a good coach. There was no winning tradition at CSU before Lubick arrived. They were the perenial doormats of the WAC. If you couldn’t beat anyone else in the conference, there was always CSU.

CSU has shown, very plainly, that Lubick is too good for them. I know he’ll more appreciated anywhere he goes.

Coach Lubick was asking to coach one more year. It is a slap in the face to push him out. I hope boosters see what a joke this is and the funds for CSU drop dramatically. I know they will never see another dime from me. Obvsiously the higher ups at CSU haven’t learned a thing from Sonny–integrity, dignity and self respect. You are losing the best thing that happened to your program. Shame on you. You need all the luck you can get now.
